THE BC RCMP said on Tuesday that they have notified the Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia (IIO BC) of an incident in Richmond where four individuals and a police officer were injured.

On Monday, July 7, at approximately 9:12 p.m., a Richmond RCMP officer was responding in his marked police vehicle with lights and siren activated to assist another police officer at a call when there was a collision with a Honda Ridgeline in the intersection of Williams Road and No. 4 Road.

As a result of the collision, the truck hit two pedestrians and one resident on a property in the area.

All five individuals, including the Richmond RCMP officer and the sole occupant and driver of the Ridgeline, were transported to local hospitals for treatment of various injuries.

The IIO BC was notified and are attending the scene to investigate police actions in this incident. The area has been cordoned off in order to support the investigation.

The IIO is requesting any witnesses that have not already provided a statement, or who have video footage of the incident, to contact the IIO at its Witness Line toll-free at 1-855-446-8477 or via the contact form on the iiobc.ca website.
